Your need-to-know about the new Hunger Games movie

Can't wait to watch The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1? Us neither (literally – we couldn't wait, so we've already seen it). After what seems like years, the third instalment of The Hunger Games is in cinemas tonight. So if you want a heads up of what's going down, here are the four most burning (geddit?) questions answered, so you can go in feeling prepped for Panem.

So, how's Katniss doing?

Not great, babes. She may be out of the games, but Katniss now spends most of the time in an underground bunker worrying about an impending war. She's also in the middle of one of the most intense love triangles of all time, so we see quiet, angsty Katniss over sassy bow-and-arrow Katniss*.

*TRIVIALERT: The poster for this film is the only one in the series which doesn't feature Katniss aiming her arrow. Symbolic, that.

Gale vs Peeta: who do we fancy?

Peeta's being held in the Capitol for most of this film, and when we do finally see him, his transition is pretty impressive. We shouldn't say it, but we're going to: despite the adverse conditions, he manages to look really quite fit. Soz Gale, Peeta wins this one.

Do we like the new people?

We do actually, especially the two new #girlbosses. Natalie Dormer kills it as Cressida (she's the one scaling buildings with a camera in the middle of an air strike), while Julianne Moore's President Coin is exactly who you want to be channelling at your next job interview.

How scary is it?

Pretty scary, tbf and tbh. Katniss might not have an arena full of armed teenagers trying to kill her, but there's deeper, darker stuff going on. And to avoid any kind of spoilergate, that's all we're gonna say.
